Kenya: It’s Illegal To Be Gay, But Polygamy Is Okay

When opponents claim same-sex marriage could lead to polygamy maybe they should look at Kenya – the country criminalises homosexuality – yet two Kenyan men have signed an agreement to marry the same woman. Community policing officer Adhalah Abdulrahman persuaded the two men to marry the woman after he saw them fighting over her in Mombasa county. Sylvester Mwendwa, one of the husbands, said he decided to share her with Elijah Kimani. The unnamed woman had been having affairs with both men for more than four years and apparently refused to choose between them.
